We had another great day for a bird walk. Seven people walked the Androscoggin Riverlands State Park in Turner, after checking the boat launch where we had a constantly singing Warbling Vireo, seen well too; plus two female Wood Ducks with a line of chicks behind each. At the state park, Ovenbirds were calling everywhere and we must have seen 4 if not more. We also had a cooperative Hermit Thrush and a somewhat cooperative pair of Scarlet Tanagers. A very nice walk.
